The Annotated Carmilla

The Annotated Carmilla

In 1872, fully twenty five years before Bram
Stoker finished hisDracula,
another Irish writer penned a vampire tale that created many new elements in
the genre. BeforeCarmilla,
by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, no story had told events from the victim's point of
view. None had ever suggested to be bitten by a vampire might feel
erotic.

Just as no story before had ever contained a
professional vampire hunter.

Most agree it created the lesbian vampire genre.

But because the book was written so long ago, it references many things the
modern reader might not understand. Where is Styria, for example?
When one speaks of a horse carriage, what are the traces? What is a
myrmidon?

The Annotated Carmillaanswers those questions and more. More than four
hundred footnotes provide not only answers to obscure questions, but point out
patterns and questions not immediately obvious to the first time reader--such
as the pattern of when the full moon occurs in the story, which proves rather
important! At the same time it points out the many unsolved mysteries in
the text, as well as some possible solutions.

Also included are long essays on the life of Le Fanu (this was his final work)
and the history ofCarmillaamidst the vampire in film, television
and fiction.

About Me

Hi my name is Amy, ok my full Vampire name is: Lady Amelia Mistress of the Night Mare but I prefer to shorten mine to Amy Mah (Vampire) or just Amy to my friends. For those who do not know me I should point out that I used to be a feral vamp living in the outside world raised by humans until I was discovered and adopted into Vampire society. In the human world life was very difficult for me, I knew I needed blood but did not know how to get it, all I had was human books and films telling all kinds of stuff that was useless like I can change into a bat, and that is so not true as I tried it and all it does is make you look stupid as you flap your arms up and down! It was while living with humans I started writing my own little journal, recording what it is like being a teenage vampire, want to know more? well I now have two books out: FANGS RULE and VAMPIRE and you can see these at my website www.fangsrule.com
